Hi eveyone
I am using :-
i)crewai 1.15.1
ii)ollama3.2 (local LLM)
iii)windows 11
before using the crewai run command , i execute the command:-
ollama pull llama3.2
to start the ollama ai and also confirmed it by opening the url:http://localhost:11434 in a web browser.
to intrigrate ollama3.2 in my crewai project i have included the following lines of code in my :-
…project_folder\src\project_folder_name\crews\content_crew\content_crew.py
local_llm = LLM(
#model=“ollama/llama3:70b”,
model=“ollama/llama3.2”,
base_url=“http://localhost:11434”,
timeout=300
)
and for each agent included the local_llm in the method call Agent() as follow@agent:-
@agent
def planner(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config\["planner"\], **llm = local_llm** # type: ignore\[index\]
)
while trying to run my project following error occurs:-
C:\crewai_project\blog_writer>crewai run

UnicodeDecodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0x97 in position 1496: invalid start byte
An error occurred while running the flow: Command ‘[‘uv’, ‘run’, ‘kickoff’]’ returned non-zero exit status 1.
To mitigate the error I have taken following measures without result:-
- included following code in main.py:-
import sys
import asyncio
#import nest_asyncio
# Patch loops before any CrewAI imports execute
#nest_asyncio.apply()
if sys.platform == ‘win32’:
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
- replace the code :- content_flow.kickoff() with asyncio.run(content_flow.kickoff())
- save all .yml files in utf-8 format and ensured that no fancy character present in these files.
I am stuck here someone kindly help please.
Thanks in advance
